Heaven’s Gift

Verse 1

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Verse 2

When far from God and lost in sin,
I took God’s book and looked within;
I found a gift from heaven’s throne:
A righteousness from God made known.

Verse 3

That gift Christ won at dreadful cost:
Propitiation for the lost.
My substitute, condemned, He died
And turned God’s wrath from me aside.

Verse 4

Now in Christ’s righteousness alone,
I stand before God’s awesome throne
And grasp what only God could do:
Be just and justifier too.

Verse 5

All merit, boasting set aside,
By faith alone I’m justified;
Before the throne I take my place
And rest in God’s amazing grace.

Amen.
